Speaking at the burial service in honour of Olatunji Braithwaite, a lawyer, politician and activist, at Reverend Braithwaite Memorial Anglican Church, Epe, Ambode said the deceased inspired him to work and serve the masses.
The governor said he had always been fascinated about the late lawyer’s disposition towards the people of Nigeria.
“I never thought I would ever be a politician but I have always been excited about the things Dr Braithwaite used to propagate and it appears I have a personal connection around the issues that relate to people,” he said.
Braithwaite died in Lagos on March 28, aged 82.
